Mr Mohammed Akmal

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have been under the care of Mr. Akmal since 2022, for treatment of Spinal disc degeneration. Without his professional skill and empathy I would still be in chronic pain. Having had a very successful disc replacement & fusion surgery back in 2023 under his care, further deterioration in other joints resulted in needing another bout of disc replacements and fusion in my cervical spine, and cortex spacers in my lumber spine. In late 2025 I embarked on another session of surgery and underwent the operation to replace, fuse and insert spacers in the offending areas of my Lumber & Cervical spine. I request both of my afflicted areas be treated in the same operation, whilst naturally cautious he undertook a rigorous assessment of the risks and eventually he and his team agreed to proceed. I had both my Cervical and Lumber spine treated in the same surgery and having entered at 07:00, I once again walked out at 18:00 on the same day. 2 weeks later the key hole wounds had healed I was off painkillers and well on the way to full recovery. My experience again is a testimony not only to the personal skill, knowledge and empathy of Mr. Akmal, but to all the people who enable such life changing surgery to happen, including the anaesthetist, surgical team, and ward staff. The successes of the surgery undertaken by Mr. Akmal and his highly skilled team are due not only to their professional skills, but to the holistic approach taken from diagnosis, explanation of options, type of painkillers and follow up care. Whilst the impact of aging and bodily wear cannot be escaped, Mr. Akmal does offer options to improve quality of life immensely. An interesting footnote is prior to the surgery I was suffering from Hypertension, post surgery my BP is back to normal for my age, a reflection of how chronic pain can affect you in more ways than one....!!

Moving to a new country was supposed to be an exciting fresh start, but instead I found myself struggling with depression and anxiety in ways I'd never experienced before. Everything felt overwhelming - the isolation, adjusting to a new culture, being away from everything familiar. I didn't recognise myself anymore. Working with Karima has been transformative. She understood the complexity of what I was going through - it wasn't just about feeling low, it was about grief, identity, belonging, and rebuilding my life from scratch. She created such a compassionate space whilst also helping me develop practical strategies to manage both the depression and anxiety. I'm still in therapy, but the difference is remarkable. I can handle difficult days so much better now. I've got tools that actually work, and more importantly, I've found hope again. I can see a future here that feels possible, even good. The anxiety doesn't consume me the way it did, and the depression has lifted enough that I can engage with my new life rather than just surviving it. If you're struggling after a major life change or relocation, Karima truly understands what that journey looks like. She's helped me find my feet in more ways than one.

I thought that I would drop you a note by way of some feedback. I came to your hospital yesterday for some “pre-med” bits, e.g. blood test, MRSA, ECG, BP, all in preparation for a procedure on my left thumb that is scheduled for 19th Feb with Chis James. I arrived about 15 minutes before the 12.30 appointment to be greeted by the quite delightful Margaret who promised to not to take too much blood!, so far so good, then off to see Aisha for the other bits to include the ECG. What a charming person Aisha was. I have to say that the whole process was quite remarkable, unlike many NHS environments where, its more that probable the appointment would run late, sometimes for very good reason. Certainly not so with your team at Ashford One. Super-efficient, smiley (esp. Margaret) a pleasure to visit, not often said when going to hospital. May I prevail on you to please pass on my grateful thanks to the two of them and of course all the “unseen” members of the team. All a credit to you.

Dr Julius Bourke

Psychiatrist

At times I felt patronised, or belittled for my personal thoughts and queries. There was a situation which got out of hand were he would come to me and tell me everything I'd be saying behind his back to the nurses and was not happy at all about me doing this even though it wasn't criticism about him, they were confidential comments I was suggesting to the nurses to make my experience here better such as having a 10 minute warning before Dr Burke would be visiting. Overall Dr Burke is a very good Doctor who knows a lot about medications and about the mental health conditions I've been facing, however I don't think we were the best match as I am someone who likes to discuss alternative options especially when it comes to medications and I felt I didn't get a say in any of my treatment plans and what I would be more comfortable with, it would be shut down very quickly.

Had the most amazing time at Abbington House, was exactly what I needed. Was immediately made to feel welcome by staff and clients, everyone has been so warm, friendly and non - judgemental. Food was excellent and the chef Marion was amazing at catering for everyone’s individual needs. I’ve gotten so much out of the groups and one on one sessions. After 28 days I feel like I have been given an amazing framework to take with me on the outside and have met a community that will stay with me throughout the rest of my journey. Thank you so much to everyone, going to miss it a lot

Mr Wassim Hassan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

From someone who has experienced gynaecological issues for many years, from my first appointment with Mr Hassan I knew I had found someone I could trust completely with my health. Mr Hassan explained everything fully, answered all my questions as well as making me feel as calm as possible about my upcoming hysterectomy, with his professional but personable approach. My procedure was undertaken without any stress, and it’s all thanks to Mr Hassan’s knowledge and experience on such matters. I would highly recommend Mr Hassan.

Mr Mahmoud Moussa

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Moussa has a truly patient-centred approach to care. He listened attentively and thoughtfully to my concerns, taking the time to understand the broader context of my health and wellbeing. His holistic perspective, combined with clear communication and genuine empathy, made me feel both heard and actively involved in decisions about my care. I never felt rushed, and his calm, respectful manner inspired confidence and trust. A very positive experience and I would highly recommend.

Newmedica Newcastle

Ophthalmology

Received care following cataract surgery on 30 September 2025 and 06 January 2026. From walking through the doors on my first visit (presurgery) in June 2025 I was put at ease at all stages throughout my visits from the reception staff, the assessment staff pre surgery and the operating staff, pre and post surgery staff and the surgeon himself. Any questions IAd were answered very thoroughly.

Ms Ying Yiing Lou

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I am very grateful to Miss Lou for looking after me so well since August! Her professionalism and dedication to her patients are excellent. The surgery (a full hysterectomy) was very successful and her feedback (pre op and post op) was thorough and reassuring. I should also thank her wonderful gynaecology team for being very caring. A brilliant department! Many thanks to all!

Nuffield Health Bristol Hospital

I had an excellent experience at this hospital from start to finish. Every member of the staff was amazing—professional, kind, and incredibly supportive during both my appointments and surgery. They made me feel comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire process. I’m very grateful for the outstanding care I received and highly recommend this hospital.

Everything was explained to her clearly so she knew what to expect every step of the way. The food was truly great and the facilities in good condition and perfectly clean. Felt reassured by every person I spoke to.

Excellent consult. Unfriendly reception. Not particularly clean. The worst part the hospital didn’t order my medication. Said to my consultant we can get it tomorrow. He was down from Scotland. Only for the day. I was travelling to London. So he went and got it from another hospital. Next time I see him we won’t be coming there!

Mr Nadim Aslam

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I received excellent care from Mr Aslam and all his team. He explained everything clearly, was caring and understanding. . Katie & Claire were always available to help with any concerns I had and called me back if I left messages. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Aslam to my friends who are considering knee surgery.

Mr Tim Crook
